At the start
before me this climb I would accomplish
a great task it was indeed
and to it I would go straight ahead

I started out
I moved along
and soon I stumbled
and soon I was to fall

And though I slipped
I still got up
but found that I was then
on a climb a different one

And again I slipped and fell
and again I still got up
and again I found I was
on a climb that was once again
a very different one

It has been like this so far
it has been like this along
I set out to do a this
and found I was in the middle of that

Yet the slips of the climbs of befores
became what was used to climb the nexts
It was not the climb I was to learn
It was to learn to climb
